Please note that DURING EVACUATIONS AND OTHER EMERGENCY EVENTS, announcements and updates from WPOHSEP and other emergency response agencies will be made via a public emergency alert system to your home phone and will be announced to local broadcast networks.

Today’s activities moved a bit more slowly than yesterday but this was expected. Just over 350,000 pounds of product were moved today. The confinement of the hallways and poor packaging of the product caused impaired additional progress.

A three-day total of 1.2 million pounds of product has now been removed and properly placed in magazines. The evacuation has been extended into Tuesday and personnel are reviewing those decisions on a day by day basis.

As a precautionary measure, Sheriff Sexton recommended to the police jury to make a request of the Secretary of State for permission to change the location of Saturday’s voting polls to other sites outside the evacuation zone.

We are anticipating delays in operations due to forecasted thunderstorms. If lightning occurs within a five mile radius of the product, operations will be suspended until it is safe to resume.

Currently no individuals are sheltered at Caney Lake Conference Center.

***This block also serves as the ONLY checkpoint for necessary reentry. Must present proof of residency to Town of Doyline Law Enforcement.***

Pilgrim's Rest Rd @ Stewart Trail

*** Please remember that a strong law enforcement presence from Webster and other parish agencies WILL be present in and around Doyline FOR YOUR SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF YOUR PROPERTY. Please respect the boundaries and suggestions set by emergency management and officers, as they are put in place and enforced for the protection of life and property. At this time we ask that evacuating residents prepare for a 48-hour evacuation period. If that information changes, it will be updated with local media and posted here.
